Research interests:  I am studying eukaryotic RNA helicases using molecular biology techniques. My long-term interests include understanding how RNA-binding proteins and RNA helicases regulate gene expression. I am also studying the kinetic properties of C. elegans malate dehydrogenase. I am continuing to develop and teach curricula for undergraduate chemistry and biology students that include student participation and collaborative learning.
